Beautiful. I love the choice of subject. The ripples actually help in seeing the overall stillness of the water. My only crib - the flower 'seems' to be artificial (I might be grossly wrong). I'd have preferred more natural looking flower and a little bit more of background. Still a beautiful picture.8.
While this wouldn't qualify as completely still, I think the rhythm of the ripples is very zen-like. Brings to mind the chanting that many associate with meditation. I thik the flower is lovely though some of the detail seems muted in its redness. The background makes for a nice contrast to the pop of color and I'm glad that you left some of the still water on the outskirts of the ripples. It helps center the image and IMO gives it an even greater tie to Zen. I gave a 7
